Goals

This class will provide students the opportunity to communicate in the Spanish language and participate in multilingual communities at home and around the world. Students will be introduced and emerged in the cultures of the Spanish speaking world and will speak in a variety of scenarios that will connect them with other disciplines. Students will gain a better understanding of the Hispanic culture through comparisons of all Hispanic cultures.
